Hmmm... I could no afford to go the the congress the last few years. Perhaps
you would be willing to help me with my finances so that I could go when the
UK is in Tel Aviv? Then I could add one more to your warm body count.
Hmmmm... mi ne povis elspezi la monon por viziti la kongresojn dum la lastaj
jaroj. Eble vi volus helpi al mia monafero do mi povus cxesti la kongreson
en Tel Aviv? Tiel mi povus multigi vian kalkulon po unu.
